My Grandmothers Jewelry Box

My Grandmothers Jewelry Box

An object I found to be most significant and interesting is my

grandmother's

jewelry box. This jewelry box has been an important object in my life

since I was a little girl. Whenever I glance over, incredible memories

dance in my head of my grandmother and me. I chose to write about this

jewelry box because it's so important to me. Ever since I was a little

girl I wanted nothing more than to be like my grandmother.

My grandmother's jewelry box rests on my nightstand in my bedroom.

It's a

polished dark wooden box which contains three different compartments.

One

is for necklaces and bracelets, the second earrings, and the third

rings. When you open the top there's a little girl dancing in circles

while lovely music would play. This jewelry box was bought in the

1930's when my grandmother was only ten. Even now in the present the

jewelry box looks like new and still so beautiful. My grandmother

started this collection with all her mother's jewelry from when she was

a little girl. Year by year the jewelry box would fill up with such

stunning

things, and I would only wish they could be mine.

My grandmother always dressed so beautifully and what made her stand

out most was the jewelry she complimented her outfit with. When I

stayed at my grandmother's house, dress up was something I loved to do,

and I did it almost every day. I would try on almost all of her jewelry

she owned and dance around the

house.
